Abstract: Introduction. Currently, there is a high level of staff turnover in the penal enforcement system, which has a negative impact on the activities of correctional institutions. The measures taken to recruit and adapt personnel in institutions of the penitentiary system are insufficient, which does not allow maintaining the stability of the professional group and improving the efficiency of institutions. This raises the issue of the need to modernize the measures implemented in the field of recruitment and adaptation of personnel with less than 1 year of work experience. The purpose of the study is to propose targeted adaptation programs as a way to reduce staff turnover in correctional institutions of the penal system. Materials and methods. The following methods were used to collect data: analysis of statistical data, questionnaires. 550 former employees of institutions of the penal enforcement system who have less than 1 year of experience in the penal enforcement system took part in the survey. Results. The study made it possible to formulate the characteristics of the desired risk group, on the basis of which a generalized social portrait of an ‘ineffective adaptant’ was compiled, who failed the stages of labor adaptation and left the institution during the first year of work in a correctional institution. This underlines the need to create a targeted work adaptation program that will take into account the specifics of a particular institution and vacancy. Discussion. Based on the research results, recommendations are proposed that can contribute to the timely identification of a potential member of the risk group. With the timely identification of such an employee, personnel departments will be able to apply the necessary adaptation tools to introduce a new employee into the team or make a decision about his non-compliance. Targeted procedures will reduce the level of staff turnover in correctional institutions and, as a result, increase the efficiency of the use of resources intended for personnel procedures in the field of labor adaptation. High-quality labor adaptation is a prerequisite for effective functioning in a specific professional group, as it allows you to introduce a new employee into the structure of a professional group in a short time.
